The Moto Guzzi V65 Lario is a masterclass in Italian engineering, marrying timeless design with exceptional performance. Its longitudinally-mounted 90-degree V-twin engine is the epitome of simplicity and elegance, delivering a unique sound and character that’s quintessentially Guzzi. The 4-valve per cylinder OHV configuration ensures a rich, torquey delivery, perfect for carving through twisties or cruising down the highway.
With its silky-smooth power delivery and distinctive engine note, the V65 Lario invites riders to connect with the road in a way that few other motorcycles can. The longitudinally-mounted engine placement provides a low center of gravity, making it a joy to handle and maneuver. As a result, the V65 Lario is more than just a motorcycle – it’s an experience that combines style, substance, and a deep connection to the riding experience.
